New York Yankees vs. New York Mets: Jonathan Loaisiga vs. David Peterson

Tonight, the Yankees honor the life and legacy of one of the game’s great leaders, Jackie Robinson.

Jonathan Loaisiga leads the bullpen charge for the Yankees. The 25-year-old has appeared in six games, pitching to a 2.77 ERA (4.46 FIP). Expect Mike King or Luis Cessa to be in the mix. The late-inning options (Adam Ottavino, Aroldis Chapman) are also in play.

Here’s the Yankees’ lineup:
